“In a conversation with a cultivated Chinese I was also impressed, again and again, by the fact that these people are able to integrate so-called ‘evil’ without ‘losing face.’ In the West we cannot do this. For the Oriental the problem of morality does not appear to take first place, as it does for us.”
“I saw that Indian spirituality contains as much of evil as of good. The Christian strives for good and succumbs to evil; the Indian feels himself to be outside good and evil, and seeks to realize this state by meditation or yoga.”
“I want to be freed neither from human beings, nor from myself, nor from nature; the psyche, and life appear to me like divinity unfolded-and what more could I wish for?”
Louis I. Kahn - "Conversations with Students" pg. 31-32
As a professional you have the obligation of learning your conduct in all relationships...in institutional relationships, and in your relationship with men who entrust you with work.
Another aspect is training a man to express himself. This is his own prerogative. He must be given the meaning of philosophy, the meaning of belief, the meaning of faith. He must know the other arts.
An architect must use round wheels, and he must make his doorways bigger than people. But architects must learn that they have other rights...their own rights. To learn this, to understand this, is giving the man the tools for making the incredible, that which nature cannot make. The tools make a psychological validity, not just a physical validity, because man, unlike nature, has choice.
The third aspect you must learn is that architecture really does not exist. Only a work of architecture exists. Architecture does exist in the mind. A man who does a work of architecture does it as an offering to the spirit of architecture.....

Myth is the natural and indispensable intermediate stage between unconscious and conscious cognition. True, the unconscious knows more than the consciousness does; but it is knowledge of a special sort, knowledge in eternity, usually without reference to the here and now, not couched in language of the intellect.

the anima of a man has a strongly historical character. as a personification of the unconscious she goes back into prehistory, and embodies the contents of the past. she provides the individual with those elements that he ought to know about his prehistory. to the individual, the anima is all life that has been in the past and is still alive in him.

a man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. they then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.

gradually, through my scientific work, i was able to put my fantasies and the contents of the unconscious on a solid footing. words and paper, however, did not seem real enough to me; something more was needed. i had to achieve a kind of representation in stone of my innermost thoughts and of the knowledge i had acquired. Or, to put t another way, i had to make a confession of faith in stone. that was the beginning of the "Tower," the house which i built for myself at Bollingen.

as i worked with my fantasies, i became aware that the unconscious undergoes or produces change. Only after i had familiarized myself with alchemy did i realize that the unconscious is a process, and that the psyche is transformed or developed b the relationship of the ego to the contents of the unconscious.
